its 11:29 now in bb land :)
The "L" on my Play Now button is worn out....it now reads "P ay Now"
lol
hey cr btw , happy to see a guildiee here :D
lol this is what happens when they try to add way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to much way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to fast
did anyone notice that usually it says weekly maintenance but yesterday it said weeklong maintenance?
Bacon!
wow, mindless drones following the masters willingly, the makers of this game sure do have socialism down to a science, probably even their own form of a national version of it.
be lucky if we even get on the game and from what they r saying they r only giving the premium people something and not the ones not on premium. how is that actually being fair for everyone and they said to send a ticket into support for daily log in they may as well give everyone from the Ares server their daily login but sure that wont happen lol
the thing is what r they gonna do for the non premium people
I want them to also extend the buff times as well. Since we can't get in to turn shyt off!
^^^^^^ amen to that wasting my beans with no buff 25 to 5 instead of 20
we could only wish they would be that nice just glad i shut my non refundable mines and stuff down
maybe if they ignore the players for long enough, the players will simply go away...
Rolback to Jan, 2014 :]
havent seen a response on here or facebook in who knows how long
also nvr seen on any other online game that they dont keep people working on it till they get it back up
No status update for 4 hours = guess it's not gonna be up today either.
probaly not u know they have to goto the pubs
ya Fyrione - i left everything running - but i at least i only had normal mines running. sadly exo and i think gold was running too. this is pretty crazy - logged in today to read they're 'still working on it' - and ya i've missed the daily log in too :(
yea the whole server has and they say to send a ticket to support lol
@Remei: I remember you said "I think we'r be back again in less than 3h" in trade channel lol
Must've been a typo - I definitely meant "3d" :p
How will this affect the "X consecutive days online" achievements / rewards?
hey weren't you supposed to be in bed, like, 6 hrs ago?? they better give everyone a good package of "sorry" shyte...just extension stuffs is pathetic. also, if you lose a mine or something thanks to this, i'd send in a support ticket. they didn't plan for this, but they have to know an onslaught of 'i want my special/industrial mine/granite pit/ect back! tickets will be coming in. ...
also. update at 3:30 said still working on it. i'm telling ya, it'll be at least afternoon (mid) but not holding my breath.
....going back to bed now. enjoy
you'll need to send in a support ticket to get yo0ur 100 gems, if, theydon't decide to gift everyone anyway....that was before they were down more than 24 hrs. at this point they may send everyone gems to compensate, and they won't have so many support tickets...cuz they're gonna get a lot of those when special mines were destroyed thanks to this wait
what r u still doing up
I'll definitely have to send in a ticket for my 16 industrial iron mines and 8 industrial gold mines that all collapsed yesterday during this maintenance. If only i'd have known i'd never have left them all running with just 100 ore left in each. :) This has been a pretty boring wait. I have learned a few helpful tips from Zeus and UK but it's time to play now :) Hope they get this up and running soon.
Ares should not have to send ticket. That not only messed up the 7 day for gems but the play for year straight too. Mines will all be dead no buffs for days :((
and no time when we can play again. I see the other servers are up why just Ares down ??
The 6 month and year achievements are non-consecutive days. Weekly login bonuses will be messed up for many/all depending when game comes back up.
Other servers are running the new version. Why is Ares such a crap server. Do the devs not have configuration control between servers? Where is quality assurance? Where is a note from management apologizing for gross mismanagement?
What makes ARES so different from the other servers? Why it takes twice as long for it to be upgraded?
Questions, questions ... and no answers. BAD!!!
BBs, maybe it is time to roll back Ares to Monday night. Start testing the upgrade somewhere safe, not on live servers. The upgrade is not worth much at this moment.
Dear Settlers,
Ares is still undergoing maintenance with no ETA yet. We'll keep you informed.
Like · Reply · 1 · 14 mins This is from facebook, 14 mins ago. I'm getting a little scared. When a server is down this long, something might have happened to the data, if you get my drift.
Keeping us informed.... Not so much... Keeping us in the dark... Definitely...
I wouldn't mind that it's down so much if there was an accurate "up time". When it gets close to that "up time", if they were responsible and customer friendly, they would extend it if they thought it would take more time, rather than leaving us in the dark. Good customer service goes a lot farther that way...
Welcome to the world of IT. There's no such thing as an accurate up time answer.
Then under promise and over deliver... One of the rules to follow in business
Based on what German BB's shared, they are undergoing a "database purge" (google it if you care), and the database scripts are apparently "always hard to predict, how long it will take to run". For the same reason, German XXL update was postponed and will not be added until they perform optimization (purge) on all databases (that's 14 servers in Germany) to avoid exactly what is happening here...
The other thing is there is no more communication since the 3:30 AM news post on the main page - guess Endesmor is still sleeping :)
